[quote author=Ray Popp link=board=General;num=1103346833;start=0#3 date=12/18/04 at 03:40:39]Birdlady,

There are people in this hobby who advocate NOT keeping anemone. Their arguments are pretty compelling. One of the tings I read was a survey where they found that noone with less than two years experience in the hobby had kept an anemone more than 12 months. Dead in less than a year. It was not untli the hobby experience curve went beyone 5 years befor people were able to keep them for two years. I don't believe they had more than a couple of old timmers with 15+ years of experience who had been able to keep an anemone more than 5 years. That and the real possibility that the one that you are buying could be more than 100 years old might cause one to contemplate keeping anemone.

That doesn't mean I won't have one, but it is a thought provoking read.

Cheers,

I agree in a way, anemones should not be attempted by the uncertain or undedicated. Ive found it harder to keep anemonies than the SPS's and such. Also about anemone age...completley irrelevent they can theoretically live indefinatley. a guy in my Marine bio course did a quick essay on one that has been documented in the PI's for over 200 years.
